Come explore with us! Each month in the Discovery Room we'll have special STEAM activities geared toward kids ages 4–6 to explore with a caregiver. Siblings ages 0–3 are welcome to join their family, but younger siblings may not handle the robots due to their delicate and complex components. Some kits may also contain choking hazards.
